A Horse-A Horse: My Kingdom For a Horse

A horse!  A horse!  My kingdom for a horse!

Wast penned by The Bard of Avon of course!

Richard's steed Surrey lay dead

Slain by a crossbow 'tis said

Dick pled for another 'til he was hoarse!

Is that what they are saying now just after the Belmont? So how do you Copyright your poems. I have 340 I have to do that to. James Thomas Horn PS. Added another Normandy Day poem. We have Poetry Society meeting this afternoon in Shallotte, NC. Have to go to St. James Episcopal now and hear my wife Jill sign in the choir. Bye for now. When I was at McConnell, they had Titan II missiles and B-47's if you can believe that. There is still one left outside of Savannah and on Kellogg in Wichita, KS.

Dear Bob, Cool play on words here! Also enjoyed learning the origin of this quote. I have a fondness for history. Love, Carolyn
